- Citron, one of the last active Switch emulators, just got a big update.
- Focused on compatibility, the update makes the most popular games play better.
- Developers claim most games now run perfectly at 30 or 60fps.
- A Yuzu fork, Citron no longer claims to be a mere homebrew emulator.
Nintendo Switch emulation on Android is still reeling from the loss of Yuzu and Ryujinx last year, but other developers have taken up the mantle to continue to push things forward. Citron, one of the few Yuzu forks still in active development, is one of the best, and it just dropped a big update focused on compatibility with the hottest games.
Citron V0.4 brings updates to graphic rendering and minor UI improvements, but the bulk of the work was put into making the most popular games run more smoothly. That includes The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, and more.
